and the vicinity, and it is about equally dis
tant from Bethesda and Montgomery. To
reach there by the dirt road it is necessary
to go by the Montgomery road. Be-
fore the new road across the marsh, be
tween Montgomery and Beaulieu was built,
people living at the latter place went by
way of the Burnside road. There is but one
house, small building, used as depot, at
Burnside Station, and two or three houses
at Ship Yard creek. about a half mile
further Burnside Island is about two
miles from the depot, and is quite
a large property. Part of the
farming land on the island is used for truck
gardening. There is quite handsome resi-
dence at that settlement on the island. Out
side of the places referred TO, however,
there are few habtations on the tract of
land lying west of Isle of Hope and Pigeon
island, ard between the railroad track and
Burnside river
SECLUDED SPOT.
Though the Bethesda Orphan Home is to
the north of it, and the popular summer re-
sorts of Beaulieu and Montgomery TO the
south of il, the immediate locality referred
to is as lonely as almost any spot in the
county. There is considerable wooded
land, some of which is a very dense
forest, and the remainder is old
fields partly grown over with young pines.
The sparsity of the population allows
every one to know every white resident by
name, as well as by sight, and the fact that
NJ. Carter, who found the body, did not
r, recognize it, and that there had
been no person reported missing,
leads to the suspicion that the
murdered girl is from some other locality,
possibly young girl who had gone out on
one of the many picnics which are so fire.
quent in Savannah, and having strolled off
in the woods, was there wronged and muir
dered.
THE INVESTIGATION.
Coroner Dixon has been notified, and he
will go out on the o'clock train this morn
ing TO hold tho inquest, and a strange one it
will be, Out in the woods lies still
the body of the unfortunate young
woman, but no loving parents
cr kind friends keep watch over it.
1t was left alone with no pail save the Skies
no covering save the leaves of the trees,
under which she sleeps her last sleep. There
in that lone spot, and around the
body, will the jury
stand when It takes its solemn
oath to do its duty to the dead Whether
its efforts will throw light upon this dark
mystery cannot be foretold, but a most
searching investigation will be held and
every effort will be made to discover the
perpetrator of this foul deed.

THE OLD CEMETERY.
What the City and County Have Done
in the Matter.

III Inc AdUUeT.
The County Commissioners met q, COM
mittee of City Council yesterday morning
for the purpose of comforting in regard to the
old cemetery. 1t will be remembered that
the County Commissioners prepared bill
asking the Legislature to vest the cemetery
in the county, under certain conditions,
with the right TO use part of it on which
to erect court house. The bill provides
for taking care Of the remains of those in
TERED therein which have not yet been re-
moved, and also promising that no streets
should be extended through the cemetery.
The City Council, which had for some
years been endeavoring to utilize and beau
tify the old place as park, but which has
not been able to do so, owing to certain legal
proceedings, passed a resolution asking the
Legislature not to pass the bill sent up by
the County Commissioners.
After considerable discussion the whole
matter was referred to City Attorney
Adams and County Solicitor Saussy, and it
is probable that they will arrange plan so
that there viii be no conflict between the
city and the county. The delay, however,
may cause this important measure to lie
over until the next General Assembly.

A BURGLAR IN LIMBO.
One of the Savannah Burglars Gang
Caught at Florence, s. C.

Caught at Florence, s. G.
Messrs. Davis Bros received a dispatch
yesterday morning from G. Med. Stoll, a
Justice of the Peace at Florence, S.
c., saying that one of the bur-
glars who broke into their store Mon
day morning had been caught. An hour
or so later. Mr.. G. Strathy, piano sales
man, corroborated Mr.. Stoll by u dispatch.
The Northern mail brought letter from
Mr.. Strathy, who said: II suspected
man here and caused his arrest, and on
searching his effects found gold pens and
other articles. He is held here by Trial
Justice Stoll, who viii wire you. Send
requisition for him"
Mr. ClarI, Davis Immediately sent a tele-
gram describing the pens stolen, and at 2:10
o'clock received a reply saying 1.-THE pens
are all right and that the man has owned up
everything"
The arrested party gave his name as j. B.
Warner, and he is thought to be person
who was spotted here the Saturday
previous. He had two confederates, but
for various reasons they were not
suspected. Warner is described as
a man of medium height, strongly
built, light brown whiskers and generally
wears a stiff hat, with fat crown, of a
dark color.
An application has been made to
the Governor for the required requisition
papers, and he will be brought
here as soon as possible. Mr.. Stoll, the
Justice, says his suspicious were awakened
by his peculiar conduct at the hotel. He
had no baggage with him, but received a
satchel by express. 1t was ascertained he
intended to ship a small box to New York
by express, and he was arrested on suspicion
and examined in the Office. He did not givs
a satisfactory account of himself, so he was
locked up, and the paper box which he had
for shipment to New York was secured. In
it was found pens, penholders, pencils and
opera-glasses. and a letter in the box. His
satchel at the hotel contained kit of
burglars toOIS

IMPROVEMENT OF THE STREETS.
The Suggestion of the Morning
News" Approved.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 7.-Editor Morning
Ne,os: think your suggestion in to-day's
issue about paving our streets, the best one
offered yet, and believe every taxpayer
will approve of the plan.
Grass plats in the middle of our wide
streets and on the edge Of our narrow ones,
would add very much to the beauty of our
city, and the cost of moving the grass and
sweeping the streets will be small, COM
pared to the present way of moving sand.
The yearly increase of taxable property
ought to give us something extra, and there
is nothing we need so much as paved streets
The saving in horse-fesh would reduce the
expense of doing business. The fire depart
ment would have a better chance to protect
property. 1t would give us beautiful drives
through our streets. and relieve us of the
foul dust that pours into our stores and
homes.
l hope that the City Council will not act
upon the old proverb that says: "Time and
patience change the mulberry leaf into
satin" As we may think, ''by the road of
by and by one arrives at the town of never"

The conductor will pass this bundle of

From July till the middle of Lent;
Like any other deadhead, without paying

Let him ride to his hearts content"

lence Of much ignorance or carelessness,
or both, in the care Of babies on the
part Of many mothers. This is mat
ter involving the repute of our civiliza-
ton, and might well engage the organ
lied attention of philanthropic women.
Another melancholy feature Of the re-
turns may be found in the very large
number of people dying without medi-
cal attendance. The proportion Of
such last month was one-third, or leav-
ing out Chinese and Portuguese, only
one adult of the latter having died,
more than one-seventh Of the deaths
we're unattended. This class is found
by reference to the tables furnished us
by the Board Of Health agent, to be
Principally composed of adults, 10 of
them being from 20 to over 10 years
Of age. Possibly the various national
and benevolent organizations might
have more useful as well as healthy ex-
istence if they undertook systematic
measures for the reduction of the pro-
portion of people allowed to go to their
graves without, and probably in some
cases for the want of a physicians care.

American Consular Fees.

Col. Mosby, who used to skirmish so
eheotually in Virginia during the war,
as many a captured and robbed Union
soldier can testify, has returned from
Hong Kong, where he has been
United States consul, and has com
menced suit In the Court of Claims
for $4,000 fees collected by him and
turned into the United States Treasury.
Finding that he had right to retain
them, he demanded them but
the treasury officials refused to
give them up. The principle involved
is exactly the same as in the suit brought
by the Government against Col. Badeau
for fees retained while he was Consul
General at London, and which the
United States Circuit Court in New
York has recently decided in Badeau's
favor Mosby turned into the treas
ury all his fees of the character referred
to, expecting to receive them back when
his accounts were settled, but Badeau
and other Consuls put them in their own
pockets, and thus threw the onus of
proof upon the Government. 1t is
said that Badeau at London and Pack
ard at Liverpool made at least $Ioo, 900
during their terms Of office by retaining
the class of fees which Mosby handed
in. - Washingfon COryesbOAdenee Boston
